Advisory Details

### Impact

Any user with edit right can execute arbitrary database select and access data stored in the database.

* Create a new user without any special privileges.
* Create a page "Private.WebHome" with {{TOKEN_42}} as content. Go to "page administration" and explicitly set all rights for "Admin" to remove them for all other users.
* Logout and login as the unprivileged user. Ensure that the previously created page cannot be viewed.
* Create a new page "ExploitClass.WebHome" and then open it in the class editor (first, make the user an advanced user).
* Add a field named {{ContentList}} of type {{Database List}}
* Enter in field "Hibernate Query" the following content: {noformat}select doc.content, doc.fullName from XWikiDocument as doc where doc.fullName = 'Private.WebHome'{noformat}
* Save the class.
* Open [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/ExploitClass/?xpage=suggest&classname=ExploitClass.WebHome&fieldname=ContentList&firCol=doc.fullName&secCol=-]
